Description
Next.js is a framework for building server-side rendered React websites as well as static websites. This is a project-based course for learning Next.js. We will build a music events application that will give you the foundational knowledge that you need to create your own applications. We will use Strapi (a headless CMS) as our backend but you could just as well use anything

We will learn the fundamentals of Next.js like…

Pages & Routing

Data Fetching Methods – getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, getStaticPaths

Custom API Routes

Static Generation

CSS Styling

Image Optimization

In our main project, we will also be working with…

Strapi CMS

Authentication with JWT (JSON Web Tokens)

Authorization and access control

Storing HttpOnly Cookies on the server

Pagination, search filters, etc

Image uploading with Cloudinary integration

Deploying to Vercel and Heroku

Next.js can also be used as a static site generator. I will be adding a completely static blog project within a month of initial release and possibly a third project in the future
